Cancer Disparities Research Partnership (CDRP) Program: Limited Competition (U54): -Purpose. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is designed to extend the Cancer Disparities Research Partnership (CDRP) program into its second (and final) implementation stage. This limited competition FOA solicits applications for NIH U54 cooperative agreement awards from the five current recipients of the CDRP Cooperative Agreement Planning Grants (U56). The CDRP U56 awardees represent community-based institutions serving a larger fraction of generally medically underserved, low-income, ethnic and minority populations than most other healthcare institutions. Still, community-based institutions have not been proportionately involved in NCI-sponsored research initiatives pertinent to these underserved populations. The U56-based CDRP program had built the necessary clinical research infrastructure to support the development of partnerships between the awardees and their associated mentor cancer centers, which are actively involved in accrual of patient populations into NCI-supported cancer clinical trials. The transition to the U54 status under this FOA is expected to enable the CDRP sites to maximize the access, accrual, and participation of their targeted minority/underserved populations into NCI-sponsored clinical trials in cancer control, prevention, and treatment. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the National Institutes of Health (NIH) cooperative agreement specialized center (U54) award mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NCI intends to commit up to approximately $2.55 million in total costs in FY2009 and up to a total of $9.3 million over a 5-year period to support up to 3-5 awards.
